A draft of the Smart Valley Technical Guidelines for Schools is now 
available to the public in response to a large number of requests for 
the basic content of the document.

The Smart Valley Guidelines are a collection of suggested minimum 
specifications created by industry experts for local and wide area 
network designs that will accommodate distributed multimedia, Internet 
access, cable TV and satellite feeds, and security requirements.  The 
guidelines are meant to assist schools in determining hardware 
requirements for their technology implementation plans.
The Guidelines will be a subset of material contained in the Technical 
Guidebook for Schools which will guide schools through a decision making 
process for the design of their networks.  The Guidebook will contain 
general information about the technologies which will supplement the 
Guidelines which are geared towards a more technical audience.   The 
Guidebook is currently in development and will not be ready for 
distribution until Fall, 1995.
